not a bad story line, but I prefer birds of prey more.
3.5This is a really interesting take on Black Canary. Dinah joins a band and during every show, things end up getting a bit...out of hand. She's trashed most of the venues they've played at and now there are monsters showing up. Keeping her past from her new band mates is no longer an option, so she sets out to train them while her secrets unravel.
The artwork is beautiful and original, I love it! So, I really don’t know much about Black Canary but I’m hoping to learn a lot with this mini series.
This is honestly my first comic book I've ever read before, and I've always wanted to read about a superhero, so while I was at my comic book/gaming store after D&D (yeah I play that....) and I was waiting for my ride, I rifled through the comics till I saw the tab for 'Black Canary'. I was kinda shocked at first-I only know about the Black Canary from Arrow, and seeing her having a comic book....well, I just had to get it. So in this comic Dinah is in a band called Black Canary, and her bandmat...
I definitely didn't expect to enjoy Black Canary as much as I did! Combining the story of a band on tour and some really "special" individuals, I've gotta say - I was pretty hooked.
Wow, did the Arrowverse shortchange Canary or what? I knew Dinah was a badass from her occasional Batgirl visits, but it's nice to see her in her element. Annie Wu's art took me a while to appreciate, but it works pretty well with the rock'n'roll style and there are some truly striking panels. Looking forward to reading more.
I personally love this take on the black canary. She a bad to the bone experimental rockstar kicking her way through crowds of baddies. Plus, the art is so spot on I feel as if I can hear the music even though I can’t. Definitely a must read for comic book fans!
Black Canary #1, which I had heard about and seen posters for throughout the comic book shop. I had known this was coming. However the cover was what got me right away. It’s everyone’s favorite, Dinah Lance, holding a microphone, in all leather and fishnets, with black makeup, and this great don’t mess with me face on. I knew right away I needed to read this. Now be warned Arrow fans, this is not the Dinah Lance/ Black Canary that you have grown to love on the show. She is someone completely dif...
THIS WAS SO GOOD.
The use of color manages to tell a story about sound in a silent medium, and it does so beautifully. There's a lot of action and a lot of three-dimensional women. The art is stunning, mostly, but go ahead and skip issue 9; it's not connected to the main storyline, so you won't miss anything, and it's drawn in a tiny-nose, t&a-only anime style that doesn't fit the rest of the issues.
An introduction that got me wanting more! That’s always rare for me. Maybe it’s the music element in this? Either way, I’m hooked and will be continuing this series!
I'M IN LOVE. SLAY ME,DINAH.
Great story pacing and good art.
This is a different twist to a superhero story. I like the art and the writing's decent. I'm curious about DD's past and whatever's going on with Ditto (one of the band members). I'd like to see where this goes.
So cool
This isn't you JLA/Birds of Prey/Green Arrow type of comic. This for a new reader, or someone looking for something different. Hey, maybe your in a band or know someone in a band or just like the new environment. Then maybe it's just for you. But I didn't like it. I tried getting into a different mindset, since it had similarities to Scott Pilgrim, but nope, nothing interesting in the dialogue. The writing? Well..Black Canary: "What do you want from me? Do you think I'm in the Justice League? I
Bullet Review:This was fun - even if I have no clue how Dinah ended up in a band. Almost gives me Jem and the Hologram vibes - 80's nostalgia is never a bad thing!
3,5the story was okay, but it took so long for me to get used to the art of Black Canary #1
I really loved the sketch-like quality of the art. It gave the story a hurried, gritty feeling. It's very stylized and, yet, emotive.It's been years since I regularly read comics/graphic novels and the new Black Canary is very different from what I expected. Dinah is still a butt-kicking heroine, but the silly getup makes more sense now as a stage costume for a band. There is a lot of music in this and a lot of fight scenes minus the one-liners I'm used to. The fights are gritty and realistic wi...
I imagine I would have liked this more had I been more familiar with DC Comics characters. It felt like a re-imagining of a familiar story I wasn't familiar with so I couldn't be as impressed with the unconventional interpretation. This quality seemed to come at the expense of plot and character development so I wasn't as compelled by the twists and turns the story had to offer.And one other thing: it's seems challenging to tell a musical story in images. The plot focuses on a band and more than...
